At the Villa Torlonia Museums an exhibition on women artists active in Rome between 1910 and 1940

The Museums of Villa Torlonia-Casino dei Principi are hosting from June 14 to October 6 the exhibition Artiste a Roma 1910-1940. Paths between Secession, Futurism and the Return to Order, which presents a series of works - belonging to the Capitoline collections - by women artists active in Rome during the 20th century and more precisely between 1910 and 1940, a period covering the Secession, Futurism and Return to Order art movements.

Recent studies, in fact, document a wide presence of women artists active in Rome during the twentieth century, who also exhibited at the Biennali, Sindacali and Quadriennali, as well as in the most important Roman galleries. Thus, starting from the works belonging to the Capitoline collections, the exhibition aims to highlight how, from the Futurist movement, through the years of Fascism to the early postwar period, the women painters and sculptors of those years participated very actively, with their artistic commitment, in the cultural life of the capital.

The exhibition is promoted by Roma Capitale, Assessorato alla Cultura, Sovrintendenza Capitolina ai Beni Culturali, in collaboration with the Archives of the Twentieth Century and La Sapienza University of Rome.

For all information, you can visit the official website of the Villa Torlonia Museums.
